Corinium Dobunnorum

Location: North and west Cotswolds

Moodmusic: Touring always much more fun when you have somebody to be silly with

Today's memories and soundbites
"What?  What happened to your voice? I don't understand"
"Yew trees and cedars in churchyards, layers of meaning and history"
"The king (Henry VIII) he killed his wife?  Wow they were powerful in those days!"

Drinks

Location: Golden Cross, Cirencester

1. Arkell's, Wiltshire Gold (4%)
Reactions
Emotional: Bog standard bitter.
Critical: OK.  Another easy pint.  Has background flavour of the local limestone and chalky water. Enjoyable at a basic level.


Location: Kings Hotel, Chipping Campden

2. Hook Norton, Hooky (3.5%)
Reactions
Emotional: OOOooooooohhhh this is lovely.  I want some more please!
Critical: Really great depth of flavour.  Hoppy and comforting,  great balance and bitter finish, and very, very drinkable.  Woooppps .... there goes another afternoon in the sunshine.

Random remote rural art ...... arty expensive sculpted crows ....... why???  Just because?
